BUET exams

If there were no system of such preparation leave (PL) or just a week of PL, then today the students would not have demanded 4/5 or even 6 weeks of PL. But there is a tradition and we do follow traditions.

But what does this show? Even, if a weak student labours for 5 weeks on just 5 subjects, he can get a good grade. So, how can we rate ourselves? How is our GPA fair to our calibre?

It is still said that the students of BUET are meritorious and they are the very best. But isn't that an irony? If they are the best, then why do they need such a long preparation leave?

If we look at the universities abroad, they hardly give a week for studies before commencing the exams. And still the students achieve their best. So, can't this happen to BUET students?

And the funny thing is that the administration has shifted the date of this fall semester to 19th November because of Saarc holidays. But, still everyone believes that the exam won't be held before 26 November, or it might be shifted to the first week of December. So what does this mean?

I want to assure you that no matter how long the leave is, the students will not put their efforts in studying, they will hang on with tuition and other income generating work.

The BUET authorities should look into the matter.
